AirEye This new fan directs air where it's needed, for improved worker comfort in industrial settings. The steel wire cage is epoxy-sealed and powder-coated for durability, and it is compliant with national Occupational Health and Safety Administration standards. The precision-balanced steel blades provide 20 percent more airflow than traditional industrial fans, and the AirEye's variable speed control allows it to operate at 1 to 100 percent of full speed. A variety of mounting options are available, including I-beam, C-channel, wall, swivel and portable pedestal. The fan comes in 20-, 24- and 30-inch diameters.

What's new? An infrared sensor that detects motion and automatically turns the fan on when workers are present, and shuts it off automatically 5 minutes after people have left the area.

Benefits Energy savings, quiet operation and long product life. The motion sensor ensures that the fan only operates when workers are present, saving energy during shift changes, breaks and shutdowns. The electronically commutated motor operates 50 percent more efficiently than typical directional fans. The patented airfoils are quieter than competing products, even at full speed. The AirEye has a seven-year warranty and is easy to clean, with an IP65 enclosure rating, allowing it to be hosed down.
